Onboarding

Scope


Definition

Onboarding takes a new employee from a signed offer to working on their own in their role, the same way in every center.

Applicable to
  • Center Manager, Floor Manager and trainers
  • Every new employee, every role, every center

Why it matters


Sk why
  • People stay. A clear start makes new staff confident.
  • Clients feel it. New staff keep the Leor experience the same.
  • Safe and legal. Contract, documents and core trainings come before any client work.

Never


Sk rule
  • Start a new employee without a signed contract.
  • Let a new employee work alone with clients before the practical assessment is passed.

How it works


Sk steps
Before joining

Get everything ready before day one.

Day one

Make them feel welcome. Basics only.

First two weeks

Learn the role with the buddy: watch, help, then do.

First month

Check progress and plan ahead.

Good practice


Sk tips
  • Make the role clear. Show what good work looks like with real examples, not only the JD.
  • Build confidence step by step. Easy tasks first, then harder ones. Praise what goes well and correct one thing at a time.
  • Help them belong. Introduce them by name to everyone, and include them in the huddle and team lunch from day one. A short buddy check-in every day in week one.
  • Make questions welcome. Tell them that asking is expected, and who to ask for what.
  • Show the real job. Talk openly about busy days, difficult clients and long hours on their feet, so nothing comes as a surprise.
